Checklist: Neck computed tomography in non-traumatic emergencies
Radiologia (Engl Ed). 2024 Mar-Apr;66(2):155-165. doi: 10.1016/j.rxeng.2023.05.007. Epub 2024 Mar 16.ABSTRACTPatients attending the emergency department (ED) with cervical inflammatory/infectious symptoms or presenting masses that may involve the aerodigestive tract or vascular structures require a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan of the neck. Its radiological interpretation is hampered by the anatomical complexity and pathophysiological interrelationship between the different component systems in a relatively small area. Recent studies propose a systematic evaluation of the cervical structures, using a 7-it...

Exploration of postural effects on the external jugular and diploic venous system using upright computed tomography scanning
ConclusionCompared to the supine position, the contribution of external jugular tributaries to head venous drainage decreased in the sitting position, whilst most diploic veins maintained their contribution. These results could enhance our understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of the head region in upright and sitting positions. (Source: Neuroradiology)

Is “Kidney Stone Calculator” efficient in predicting ureteroscopic lithotripsy duration? A holmium:YAG and thulium fiber lasers comparative analysis
ConclusionKSC is a reliable tool for predicting the lithotripsy duration estimation during flexible ureteroscopy for both Ho:YAG and TFL. However, some variables not including laser source may lead to underestimating this estimation. (Source: World Journal of Urology)

The 4D virtual patient: A proof of concept in digital dentistry
This dental technique article updates the 3-dimensional (3D) virtual patient digital workflow by introducing the space-time information acquired with jaw tracking motion. The direct digital procedure involved scanning the interim prostheses, creating virtual casts, and transferring the digital facebow, virtual articulation, and jaw-tracking motion. All 3D files and records from the intraoral scanner, cone beam computed tomography, extraoral scanner, and jaw tracking motion were superimposed using existing teeth as the connecting link in all data sets and adopting the best-fit alignment.

Predictive value of 18 F-FDG PET/CT versus bone marrow biopsy and aspiration in pediatric neuroblastoma
Conclusion18 F-FDG-PET/CT is a valuable method for evaluating BMM in NB. The routine practice of performing a BMBA without discrimination may need to be reassessed. Negative result from 18 F-FDG-PET/CT could potentially spare children with invasive bone marrow biopsies. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Metastasis)

Isolated Mediastinal Goitre: A Case Report
AbstractRetrosternal goitre is not an uncommon entity owing to various reasons – ignorance, fear, lack of access to safe surgical technique, incomplete thyroid surgery. Retrosternal goitre could have varied presentations, especially in cases with prior thyroid surgery. Fifty-three-year-old female with history of thyroid surgery 20 years back presented with a large neglected anterior neck swelling. Computed tomography imaging revealed the rare entity of an isolated mediastinal goitre type 3 with no communication with the cervical thyroid gland. Careful evaluation of computed tomography and pathology indicated the need for...

A user-friendly deep learning application for accurate lung cancer diagnosis
CONCLUSIONS: The model provided means for storing and updating patients' data directly on the interface which allowed the results to be readily available for the health care providers. The developed system will improve clinical communication and information exchange. Moreover, it can manage efforts by generating correlated and coherent summaries of cancer diagnoses.PMID:38607727 | DOI:10.3233/XST-230255 (Source: Journal of X-Ray Science and Technology)

Coronary artery calcification in Takayasu's arteritis: clinical characteristics and risk factors
CONCLUSIONS: We recommend CCTA screening for Numano V classified TAK patients. Glucocorticoid usage significantly escalates the risk of CAC. Therefore, in cases of effectively controlled disease, the inclusion of immunosuppressants aimed at reducing glucocorticoid dosage is advisable.PMID:38607693 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/ypq2lj (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

Effects of anti-osteoporosis treatment in elderly patients with osteoporosis and lumbar discectomy and fusion
CONCLUSION: In elderly patients with LIF and osteoporosis, anti-osteoporosis therapy could reduce bone resorption and thus facilitate fusion. Anti-osteoporosis medication tends to enhance radiological, functional, and fusion short-term outcomes.PMID:38607748 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-230381 (Source: Journal of Back and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation)
